| Maria Callas never sang Manon Lescaut on stage, but she recorded the complete opera for EMI in Milan from July 18 to 27, 1957. John Ardoin wrote of this recording, "[W]hat a wealth of insight and beauty of characterization is . . . to be had from this set. Of recorded Manon Lescauts, only Callas achieves a full poignant sense of Prévost's French heroine in her Italian setting." |
| On 12 August 2002 Myto released a recording of a Met performance of Manon Lescaut with Renata Scotto and Plácido Domingo, conducted by James Levine. It can be ordered from amazon.co.uk. |
